The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

An act of kindness

Is what you showed to me

None more than I can take

Oh none more than I can take

Kindness is what you showed to me

It holds me till I ache

Overflow and start to break

Oh I got a feeling this'll shake me down

Oh I'm kind of hoping this'll turn me round

And now it follows me everyday

And now it follows me everyday

And now it follows me everyday

And now it follows me everyday, everyday, everyday

And now it follows me every day

And now it follows me every day

And now it follows me every day

And now it follows me every day,every day, every day

An act of kindness

Is what you showed to me

It caught me by surprise in this town of glass and ice

Kindness, so many people passed me by

But you warmed me to my core and you left me wanting more

Oh I got a feeling this'll shake me down

Oh I'm kind of hoping this'll turn me round

Oh I got a feeling that however small

Oh I'm kinda hoping this'll reach my soul

And now it follows me everyday

And now it follows me everyday

And now it follows me everyday

And now it follows me everyday, everyday, everyday

And now it follows me everyday

And now it follows me everyday

And now it follows me everyday

And now it follows me everyday, everyday, everyday

My back's up against the wall

I feel guilty, I feel guilty

You want nothing in return

I feel guilty, I feel guilty

Oh my back's up against the wall

I feel guilty, I feel guilty

Want nothing in return

I feel guilty, I feel guilty

And now it follows me everyday

And now it follows me everyday

And now it follows me everyday

And now it follows me everyday, everyday, everyday

And now it follows me everyday

And now it follows me everyday

And now it follows me everyday

And now it follows me everyday, everyday, everyday

(Now it follows me everyday)

Back's up against the wall

I feel guilty, I feel guilty

And you want nothing in return

I feel guilty, I feel guilty
